Poor Course Design and Location 2+ years drive by

Reviewed: Played on:Jul 6, 2015 Played the course:2-4 times

Pros:

Good view of the Missouri River

Cons:

This course is very frustrating to play as there are lots of obstacles to avoid. Coupled with the very narrow playing field, this is an issue.

For one, the course runs right along the river, so an overthrown disc or a shank will have you fishing for your disc. Some holes are literally less than 10 feet away from water. There are also some swamps as well where you run into the same problem.

Right next to the river is also a walking path, so you have to be very careful not to hit any pedestrians. This is hard to do, however, because the trail is very popular. There are also park benches and grills in the fairways, making the problem worse.

On the right side of the course there is parking. One pin is also 20ft next to the parking lot, so good luck trying to avoid hitting parked cars as well.

So with all these obstacles and narrow playing field, this requires a lot of finesse throws. This would be okay for a short course, but that is definitely not the case. 8/9 of the holes are par 3s that are 400ft+. This requires long drives to even par these holes. With no clear lines for driving due to the obstacle mentioned, this is nearly impossible to do.

And lastly, the 9 holes are linear, so you face a long walk back to the beginning of the course when you are done.

Overall, this course is frustrating to play and definitely not worth the risks you encounter either losing a disc or causing damage with an errant throw.
